If you sharpen things, you need this. You can let your stone slip-slide every which way, or you can keep it steadily in place while you sharpen, making the whole experience happy and safe. The screws on the end allow for the stand to adjust, accommodating most sizes of stone.
The steel rods used on the Knifewear Stone Holder are made from Stainless Steel, unlike other stone holders on the market that use chrome-plated rods, which over time are prone to rust due to wear and tear.
